Reflective blog!! Shutdown-We're back World!

So on Wednesday (October 16, 2013) night Congress finally reopened the United States Government, by reaching a consensus on the budget and passing one.  They also somehow, as though it was a miracle, also came together and agreed to raise the debt ceiling, preventing the government from defaulting on its debt.  This is all very huge and big for several reasons, A) they have been at each others throats for 16 days now, unable to agree on anything.  B) considering that they were not only able to agree on a budget (big deal for them you know) but also able to agree to raise the debt ceiling, on the same night!  Thats a pretty big deal for this congress.  Also with the government reopening, this means hundreds of thousands of U.S. government employees can go back to work and get paid!  The stock market has reacted well and is currently doing very well!  People can now go to the national park, museums, and zoos!  Veterans are happy to get their benefits back and are no longer about to storm D.C.  Many groups are now calling off their protests of the government shutdown.  Overall people still aren't thrilled with our government, but they are happy that America is still here and things are back to normal and that they don't have to move to Europe.

Keep on reading! Stay strong!

Reflective blog! Has the shutdown effected us?

Now I'm sure you are all wondering how the government shutdown has effected the great town and people of Weserville.  Well I'll tell you.  We are fine.  It has had zero impact on us here.  We got hit by a tornado this week and FEMA still came to our aid!  So yes the government shutdown, despite however bad it may be else where has had zero impact on Weserville and its inhabitants.  

Till next time people of the interwebs!

Government shutdown

Currently the United States government is shutdown.  It has been shutdown now for 4 days, and it doesn't really seem like it going to stop anytime soon.  The reason for the shutdown, is because of Congresses inability to come to an agreement, and pass a federal budget for the now current physical year.  Thus far the shutdown seems to having a seemingly somewhat small impact on the U.S.  Although 100's of thousands of Government civilian employees have been furloughed, and things like the commissary, and exchange have been shutdown for military and there families, the average American hasn't seen a huge impact yet.  It remains to see how long this will go on, and how big of an impact it will have on the U.S.
Till next time good readers!
